Quality of Service: Managing Bandwidth More Effectively
Advanced Classifier-Based QoS

2. Create an IPv4 or IPv6 traffic class using the

class command to select the

packets you want to manage.

Context: Global configuration

Syntax: [no] class < ipv4 | ipv6 > <classname >

Defines the name of a traffic class and specifies whether a
policy is to be applied to IPv4 or IPv6 packets, where
< classname > is a text string (64 characters maximum).

After you enter the

class command, you enter the class

configuration context to specify match criteria. A traffic
class contains a series of

match and ignore commands, which

specify the criteria used to classify packets.

A traffic class consists of match criteria, which consist of

match and ignore

commands.

•

match commands define the values that header fields must contain for
a packet to belong to the class and be managed by policy actions.

•

ignore commands define the values which, if contained in header
fields, exclude a packet from the policy actions configured for the
class.

N o t e

Be sure to enter match/ignore statements in the precise order in which
you want their criteria to be used to check packets.

The following match criteria are supported in match/ignore statements
for inbound IPv4/IPv6 traffic:

•

IP source address (IPv4 and IPv6)

•

IP destination address (IPv4 and IPv6)

•

Layer 2 802.1Q VLAN ID

•

Layer 3 IP protocol

•

Layer 3 IP precedence bits

•

Layer 3 DSCP codepoint

•

Layer 4 TCP/UDP application port

•

VLAN ID

Enter one or more

match or ignore commands from the class configuration

context to filter traffic and determine the packets on which policy actions
will be performed.
